Skoufis honors Maternal Infant Services Network

Senator James Skoufis has honored the Maternal Infant Services Network (MISN) with a proclamation to honor its service to the community in over three decades.

The MISN is a community–based non-profit that provides programs and resources to families to bridge the gaps in healthcare access.

“I am so grateful for the Maternal Infant Services Network (MISN),” said Senator Skoufis. “Their contributions to Orange County families are vital, keeping mothers and babies healthy and connected to resources and the community. I am proud to recognize their work and look forward to supporting this organization for many years to come.”

 MISN serves over 3,000 people each month in predominantly marginalized communities across Orange, Putnam, Sullivan, Ulster, and Dutchess counties—with a significant focus on reducing racial and gender health disparities and providing programs centered around youth, maternal and perinatal care, health advocacy, health insurance navigation, and family home services. Programs include Comprehensive Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (CAPP), Community Health Advocacy (CHA), Perinatal Community Health Collaboratives (PICHC), Healthy Families NY (Putnam), and Health Insurance Navigator Services.

“We are honored to be recognized for our efforts and hard work over the years and look forward to doing more for this community that we love so much, said Jennifer Lansiquot, Executive Director at MISN.
